Friday Homework for Lesson 127 - Amadeus Stitch

Amadeus Stitch is impressive - with the basic 'spike' you can make all sorts of constellations.
However, as the vertical stitches go underneath the first long Straight Stitch, you have to be careful and place the needle in the right hole. The finer the grid the harder it is to locate the correct place. The easiest fabric to work on was the

Aida Sampler

Canvas Sampler
was a bit fiddly, and there are some mistakes, but doesn't it look attractive, never the less?
Next time I'd like a lower thread count or better eyes!

Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart
A lazy, stupid student marks the grid with pencil! 
Pencil marks that can't be removed!
Then this lazy, stupid stitch novice decides to change the pattern and the pencil marks stand out even more. Some people never learn!
Just because you had run out of waste canvas.


To compensate for this mistake Extra Homework was set:

Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth
And see how good it looks when you just eyeball it!!!!

Dear Queenie, lazy and stupid you are not!
Everyone is allowed experiments, good results or not. How else do we know or learn?
You're inspiring.
